Once again Italian designer Giorgio Armani stunned with bright and eloquent colors in his autumn and winter collection, wrapping up six days of catwalk shows at Milan's Fashion week.

As with his Emporio line, shown on Friday, the designer brought to life his creations with ruby and deep reds, purple, orange, emerald green, turquoise, petrol and electric blue, as well as multicolored polka dots.

"Color is an expressive gesture," the 82-year-old said in the style notes given to guests at the show on Monday.

The black velvet and silk was enriched with tassel and pompom details and necklaces, fringes and strings of colored beads and sparkling sequins, showing off the sharp, elegant lines of Armani couture.

The collection also showcased big mohair coats and tops and capes in acidic green and black.

Dog-shaped patterns adorned knitwear and jackets, while puffs and frills on sleeves and at the hemline of tops and skirts hinted at Pierrot costumes.
